The United States is home to some of the world’s most diverse forests. Protecting these forests is vital to solving the climate crisis and achieving environmental justice.
Unfortunately, the rate of forest degradation in the United States is one of the worst in the world. Threats to US forests are accelerating with a recent increase in the use of wood for electricity generation, in spite of scientific warnings that substituting coal or gas with wood will accelerate climate disruption.
As President Biden works to uphold his promises to address climate change and environmental justice, we must urge him to establish strong, ecologically-sound, and environmentally-just protections for our forests.
Thanks for all you do,
Erin Tulley, Daily Kos.
